"Urgent Wind Chill Advisory"

I know you don't like
government employees, but try visiting one of the forecasting sites -
you might be surprised about what they do and don't do.

Where did you ever get that idea? I absolutely adore all government
employees who do their jobs efficiently, and accomplish their tasks at
a price that matches the market value of their work.

I've even met her, once. Her name is "Ruby", and she's a black woman
who works for the IRS. Without her, the entire US Government would
grind to a halt.

So for what reason do you think that the meteorologists aren't doing
their jobs efficiently?

Note that the warning to dress warmly that you got - you said it was from
a Weather Channel widget. Now I could be wrong, but isn't the Weather
Channel a private company? Perhaps you should bemoan the nanny
corporation before the nanny state...

Okay, I'll bemoan that, too. I've seen enough corporate welfare lately
that it's easy to despise them, too.

Of course, it's the corporate whores who have government stooges in
their hip pockets that make the corporate welfare possible, so, dang,
I guess I'll have to hate 'em all...

It is, but it gets its data from the government, like all weather
networks.

It is, but the Weather Channel Desktop Weather alert to which Jay is
referring is coming from the National Weather Service, not the Weather
Channel. TWC is just the messenger.
